"Color: dark; Nose: fragrant; Aromas: black berry; Acidity: lively; Sweetness: dry; Body: medium-bodied; Finish: medium; Overall: well balanced; Great Pinot! Of all the California Pinot's I've tried, Black Kite always does it for me more than any other. Their style is the perfect taste for me. Not too bright, with a great balance of berry flavors. Nice structure and medium tannins."

""Offers a delicious core of ripe, firm wild berry and blackberry fruit, with a touch of anise, raspberry and sage. Full-bodied, focused, sleek and refined, this keeps the fruit front and center from start to finish. Drink now through 2012" — James Laube"
